This is a week old (sorry, forgot to upload), but shows a different perspective from other photos and also shows the Festival Tower columns starting to come out of the ground!

Do the columns wed this site to the existing design or would it be possible for another design to be engineered to the same supports? I know it's extremely unlikely, but I do like to fantasise that by the time the carpark's done the tower will be redesigned into something more befitting the location. The current one is very unfortunate (from what I can gather anyway, given the plans have never been made publicly available).

The plans for the tower were made public years ago when it came before the DAC/SCAP.

My mail is that this is significantly behind schedule and the opening has blown out to 2021.

Happy New Year to all my friends on the forum !

The GM of the hotel posted about a September opening (on schedule) on LinkedIn less than 2 weeks ago.
